i mean, this is where this strange intersection with lance armstrong. if there's one thing we learned, the sooner we come out with the real truth and the sooner manti te'o, whatever the truth is, comes out with the whole truth, the less worse -- i'm not going to say better -- the less worse it is for him, and i think that's the key. don't we learn anything from what we watch? the second thing is honestly as a journalist, it's on us. we did a terrible job here. >> "sports illustrated." >> incredible outlets did not vet the story, and we look terrible. >> so tom, let me ask you. the heavy implication of the story is that manti te'o was involved in this, and it was at least in part a creation of his own. but the proof is that a friend of this guy, tuiasosopo who we believe was behind it said, quote, he was 80% sure that te'o is in on it. is deadspin ready to say that manti te'o was in on this and created this and that he was not a victim of a hoax? >> that was in the context of talking to friends and family and just getting their -- you know, as honest a t

the world is gloomier from the trivial, lance armstrong's confession, manti te'o's made-up tragedy, the 11-inch foot long subway sandwich to the frightening. we have a congress that drives perilously close to the edge of the cliff. then there's the profoundly sad massacre in newtown, connecticut, last month. the president put all his political capital on the line, but most people's money is on the national rifle association. newtown changed the president, but i'm not sure it changed enough members of congress to make a difference. listen to senate majority leader harry reid trying to give democrats cover to vote against the president to save their jobs. good lord. i mean, if newtown isn't enough to give us the emotional pull to make some changes in this country, then what is? >> you know, i hate to be debbie downer about t bit, but in talk to members the last couple days, democrats don't want to take a vote if it's not going to work. you know, the nra may have 4 million members and obama may have 1 million in his political organization, but they're all going to have to be mobilized. the
